Not just her, but I think that when we contrast ourselves with western countries, many of us get this sort of inferiority complex. Which is why she's trying so hard with her accent. Having a British accent does not mean you are more affluent than Singaporeans. It's not the accent, it's the content that matters.
@@aaaduccs6667 I mean you are right... we feel like that complex since the Singaporean accent is doesn't sound like that atas, it just sounds like your average kopitiam uncle.😓
as an SG'ean who is studying overseas in Scotland, i must say, i appreciate SG a lot more. Less racism, cleaner streets, better transport and more food choices. Also everything is so interconnected in SG, we have better city planning and design... The only thing i think Sg can improve on is that kiasu culture and being more open-minded.
@hieveryone2003 Bro... people dont throw eggs on you on the sidewalk when they drive by. People dont scream at you to go back to your country. Or shout at you for speaking your mothertongue. I'm not saying Sg has no racism. I literally said we can be more open-minded. What I'm saying is that we have a lot more tolerance to people of all races. If you think SG is bad, try going to some of these Europe countries. They will literally spit infront of you or try and ban the hijab...
@hieveryone2003 I'm sorry you had bad experience about sg'ean and racism. But honestly speaking, you haven't experienced how racist and condesending Europeans are. And I would say most of our younger gens aren't racist or definitely better, and they don't beat up old people because of their race like they do here.
@hieveryone2003 As a Singaporean chinese, i’ve never mistreated other races before and doesn’t have recollection of witnessing it before too… I would say i’m very surprised to know that your personal experience says otherwise…
@hieveryone2003 Relax, i’m not defending anyone who’s being racist or discriminating against you or your minority group. What i meant was literal. Meaning, i was surprised, literally. And I’m not about to apologise for any racism done by anyone from my race, simply because it’s not my fault to apologise for. I was brought up to respect individuals as they are, regardless of where they come from and what job they do. I believe individuals should be held accountable for their own actions. Maybe as a possible point of reference, several foreign employees in our small company worked with us for 10-20 years and some converted to PR/singaporean, our previous domestic helper was with us for 19years, and the current helper has been with us for 10years. Hope I did clarify things up abit.
My beloved Singaporeans, English is universal. It's not just British or American accent. Be comfortable with your Singaporean accent when you speak to foreigners. We just have to speak slower for foreigners to catch what we speak.
i'd rather much prefer someone who embraces their own native accent even if it sounds weird than someone who tries really hard to mimic other's accents just to feel superior or to fit in...shows how insecure they really are :/
Actually I think not singaporeans mimic accents not because of inferiority complexities. I saw that as a possibility of more like a polite behaviour to conform a native accent in the particular location or person the speaking with, so that the could be understand better. Because they can easily and would switch back as soon as they are conversing with other singaporeans.
shes not wrong about how the way singpoareans speak or behave, we are indeed quite rude and self-centered to a certain point. Been to several events and festivals outside sg and came across fellow singaporeans there and wanted to say hi but simply got shrugged off/ignored by our very own locals.
I am not a Singaporean but I've been living in SG for 13yrs and this country is just the best. Number one is safety and Everything is so efficient. Idc anyone says, I love Singapore.
@n1ngnuo at the very least , SG don't have druggie , Beheaded random kindergarten girl then got away with a slap on the wrist, their public is having outcry for the Slacking of their justice system
@n1ngnuo Are you sure about that ? Other countries don't have Murder/Assault due to love/hate relationships? Unless you're being location specific LOL I'm using something that SG won't have or unheard of which is happening in Taiwan Taiwan have multiple druggie randomly killing random passerby and was giving light sentence due to under "influences" which spark outcries from their public
I was born and raised in Singapore, grew up in a typical sg household, moved to aus 6 years ago, and sometimes after awhile, we just pick up the accent? I didn’t even realise my accent had changed until my sg friends pointed it out. I think sg has lots and lots of plus points. But ngl, the fast paced, hyper-competitive lifestyle is just not for everyone. I’ve been teased for being a ‘banana’ by many people, but sg will always be home. The thing I miss the most about sg is honestly caifan. 😅
All these reasons you have stated for not likely Singapore are fair points, while hers is not very substantial (but to each of their own). And she has nothing she likes about here? At least you like caifan! Haha
@@MsEverAfterings ya when I made the comment I was worried people would think I was defending her, but my comment was more about the vast majority of Singaporeans who live overseas? She definitely comes off as the kind who ‘picks up’ an accent after 2 weeks overseas.. 🥲
I am not Singaporean. No matter your nationality, we all have good and bad things about the people and country. She seems to have some issues. Perhaps she needs help.
If we are a mature nation, we should be able to handle any criticism throw at us or our country. Just like how we judge the West or certain Asian countries.
While seeing this girl respond to the questions made me cringe, I definitely don't regret my decision to migrate from Singapore to Europe. There's a lot I love and miss about Singapore but you are 100% correct. In my experience, one of the worst things about Singapore is the inability of many locals to accept ANY criticism about their country, while being all too ready to criticize foreigners whenever it suits them.
Sad that quite a number of Singaporeans including our celebrities start NOT to speak and use our Singapore accent whenever they speak to foreigners and even locals. If we can write proper structured English that people can understand, why not speak using our Singapore accent too that we have grown up with. Our ministers speak to foreigners don't have to switch to British/American accent and yet still get respected with their substance, not accent.
I think what she meant was a short getaway holiday in Singapore is fine, but growing up in Singapore is a different story. I like her honesty and there is a huge difference in how people behave in a big country vs a small country.
there are pros and cons to living in any country in the world, it all depends on your views and life perspectives. i'm not sure how long that girl has been living in london for but the longer she stays there, she'll slowly realise and learn to appreciate how much better singapore compares to london in so many categories. for instance, the old transport system and the fact that workers can go on strike as and when they please, sometimes selfishly disrupting others' day-to-day routines, not to mention dirtier streets and higher chances of dealing with racism. as a singaporean myself who studied and lived in london for three years and only just moved back to sg a couple months ago, i do miss the slower paced life in london where the workaholic mentality is not heavily emphasised and mental health is considered a priority, but overall, singapore is a much more efficient country and i really only learned to appreciate it while i was away.
What really bothers me is people like this and others..mostly asians through my observation wants to act,speak and look like an "ang moh". What is wrong been an asian, our cuture,values and tradition developed 4,000 or 5,000 years ago compared to western culture which developed much lesser than us, i am born and bred in singapore,have had the opportunity to travel all over the world and i still like and love my country singapore. There is no need to speak,act or behave like an "ang moh" just because you have lived overseas that shows you are immature and feels inferior about your own culture and identity, these kind of people really,really put me off as their mentality is too low. Westerners are proud of their identity and culture,why can't we as asians? Why do we have to act and behave like a westerner?
I have a friend who lived n still lives in Aust for about a decade and a half now still she doesn't speak with an accent while I know of others who stay for only months n start speaing like they're ang mor. My theory is those pretentious ones who don't have a sense of self identity are quick to form their accents to blend in with the crowd.
@@jen5138 it is really sad if someone is not comfortable with their own skin but with another, it is just like "kacang lupa kan kulit" just to fit in🤷🤷🤷🤦🤦🤦🤦
Problem with such individuals, no matter how she dye her hair, she speaks, she will always be yellow in the eyes of Whites ... and always be second class citizen whichever she thinks.
speak factsssss. i think we really need to start having more pride in our identity, and we cant really blame those people too since social media/the internet is widely western centric, the more influence there is from a place, the more unconsciously glorified it is, so people want to be like them/act like them. but i completely agree, we as asians need to start having more pride about our culture.
She looks like a teenager and may have got a lot of flak in the US regarding her accent growing up (e.g of Fresh Off the Boat Asians getting teased cruelly for their lunch) ... thus she ends up hating her own country and hence her answer. People are motivated to move overseas for all sorts of reasons, some including a dislike of certain aspects of their homeland, or a belief that their adopted country is better. However, I hope someday she will have a chance later in life to experience a positive side of Singapore. People from other countries will respect you more when you take more pride and self-confidence in your own identity.
Singapore is really pleasant in most ways. But it is pretty harsh on some, especially the very poor, the elderly (the government tried but), LGBTQ+ (ok it's improving?), minorities, etc. We just fail to notice. Maybe she grew up in a very bad environment.
True but obviously she isn't poor ( wouldn't be overseas otherwise), uneducated ( opinions may differ), elderly or a minority. While those underprivileged have the right to gripe, I realise that actually many underprivileged are the most appreciative of assistance
Young impressionable and insecure person usually want to identify with perceived better and higher class status and feel ashamed of their lower status. I guess this is normal for any impressionable ignorant youth, cant really blame them for their poor self esteem.
Girl, why blame the whole SINGAPORE. Blame your birth parents, we don't know you and we didn't do bad to you... be fair to our Pioneer who build this Country.
Sometimes code switching is subconscious. I had a friend who had returned from Hong Kong for vacation and did not realise that he picked up a weird English accent. We have to point it out to him and It takes him almost a week after to switch back into singlish. And this phenomenon is also quite common with some UA-camr with international popularity. Somehow they would code switch to the generic British or American English accent without even realising it.
This girl has got a story behind her okay? She didnt elaborate her words and meaning ..just know that what she means is coming here for hoildays is ok but not staying here ..thats what i think
My family and I relocated to the UK (London and Scotland) when I was 10 for 8 years and now in Australia for the past 14 years. Singapore will always be home for me. Lately Ive been yearning to come back but unlucky for me my hubby loves it here in Perth 😅 No matter how long it'll be that Im living overseas, I'll never ever give up my SG passport ❤🇸🇬
The thing is i realized one thing, after a singaporean goes overseas to live for a period or heck just goes overseas once, they would start to like overseas more and start disliking singapore. It likes after experiancing the vastness, they find sg to be more constricting and stressful. Forgetting all the good parts in sg becus they think overseas have better things anyways. Grass is always greener on the other side u know?
@@cwz4503 Yes you are definitely a unique case. I mean nothing bad about either one at all really! Singapore being small asian country definitely have its disadvantages ofc so i dont blame anyone from thinking its a good or a bad country. I think mainly it depends on the person as im sure some countries just don vibe with a person well compared to another country does for them etc.
@@jen5138 Ok to be fair, US is different x'D i mean cmon, there.......really not the dream in some areas ^^; But im glad to hear they like sg to come back ofc
unpopular opinion: the judgy sgreans in the comment sections are the ones with inferior complexity. I have moved out of sg for more than 10 years and have no other sgreans to speak to most of the time. I speak mandarin chinese and english with a more neutral accent than most sgrean now, even when i am back in sg, no one thinks i'm pretentious when i speak good chinese, but i get judgy comments about my english 'accent' just because i cannot talk like everybody lahhh (mannn, im struggling).... LIKE, why.
@toxicislam3319 nothing wrong with either accent. The only person who is an a**hole is the judgy ones who thought that people code switch out of malice rather then necessity.
Inferior complex. Many feel ashamed about Singlish. But, really only ah lian ah seng speak pure singlish. Be confident Singaporeans, Londoners will not change the way they speak because u are foriegners. They also have some local dialets in their conversation.
4:53 Singapore's online comment section is toxic af. From attacking tourists to own citizens, saying things a bit controversial gets flamed instantly. Is cyberbullying the new national identify now?
The way we "talk"???? Firstly, it's "the way we speak". If she wants to identify with an English-speaking country, then at least learn to speak well! 😂
what she said is literally how a lot of people feel about their own country though… it’s fun to be a tourist in a country but if you have to work and make a living of course you’re going to dread wherever you live in
She should keep that hair colour. The bleach must have fried her brain. SPGs decided to go to where they can get more sausages due to lack of them in SG now 😂
I'm not a Singaporean, what I know the whole world praises Singapore for being so advanced, modern and safe, But this girl said otherwise and honestly I was shocked, It looks like this girl is going through hard times
Rather, I would say this girl hasn’t been through hard times. Someone whom been through hard times would see Singapore as a paradise if you work for it.
Not trying to hate or anything, just wanted to share that Asia isn't a country...but a continent with over 50 very different countries all with very different cultures and ways of life, love from sg
Ignoring the girl in the video, the people in the comments hating on people who code switch because they can't do it themselves. Pretty hilarious stuff.
Broken English is very common in Singapore, yet, many locals do claim that they are native speakers. On the other hand, the Dutch or Irish (who's deemed native speakers by the UK and the US) would never make such a claim. Like someone mentioned in the comment, inferiority complex
it's not the accent but the grammar, the defining feature of a language. In fact, on average Singaporeans only score 7-8 on Ielts test while native speakers easily scoring a 9-9.5@@cocaineminor4420
There 200 other countries i hope they found a country they loved like me. I currently lived in chicago came here from Singapore 5 years ago back in 2018
Grow up, your comment about LHY totally show how brainwashed you are. He is actually an opposition party member. He loves Singapore more than most political zombies.
@kwokleongawyong2895 - LHY dare to step in Singapore soil ? No balls ? Beside LHY being a troublemaker, what good have LHY done for Singapore ? Any improvement in Singaporeans life from his efforts , any ? Don't be so stupid .
She has the most “fake accent singaporean accent” I have heard 😂 it’s so obviously singaporean but she’s trying so hard to not sound like she is but it’s just not working… xmm why all the internalised hate for your culture and heritage? Who hurt you?
This whole video just goes to prove her point, don't you think? Whether you like it or not she has spoken as is her right to do so. No international law will prosecute her for speaking her mind, regardless of defamation or slander. Don't like it? Sue her as is your right to do so. Don't go, as a Singaporean, she shouldn't be and say it's not right morally/ethically. In any case, who gives two hoots about the girl. She is one out of so many million. Your actions speak more than hers because you were sensitive enough to have reacted to such a statement in the first place. I mean does her statement change who you are? NO. So leave and move on. The next clip in this video proves as such. As you said, he was pretty harmless yet got hated on because the people who were commenting felt the right to deride him. I love what he did when he thumbed his finger right back at all his detractors because I would do that too.
Having working overseas for so many years and almost 7 years in US, I think there is no better country than Singapore. Thanks God she moved to England.. a drowning country.
I think a reasonable person wouldn't go as far as to say Singapore is so horrible. Sure there are aspects one can be very critical of, but on the whole, I think it's still tolerable at worst. Lol.
There is a complexity about her. This golden retriever spoke like she is already angmo. Plse lah you are yellow and always yellow. Don't siah suai yourself
🙏 With great respect to All Sides ... Those who only know on how to complain this & complain that of Singapore are mainly from groups that who have not suffered living under Totalitarian or Extremist Regimes that will prosecute their own people who do not follow their draconian rules or selfish political manifesto ... A lot of their citizens in these regimes being locked up for decades or disappeared just for voicing or fighting for their or others' human rights! ... 🙏🕯🌏🕊
I think she dont like her parents because of the way they talk . I like Singapore , I don't like the weather I don't like the rules there .I love the food there. Every time I go back to Singapore I will gain a lot of weight I just have to deal with the weather
Give her a break lah. She's just a silly young person. She will grow out of it. Can't deny that the most Whites are pretty cool in their demeanour, and others will try to emulate it.
time to stand up for singapore
And do the best you can
Reach out for ur fellow man
And you better make a stan
Recognise you can play your part

I think mainly it depends on the person as im sure some countries just don vibe with a person well compared to another country does for them etc.
One of my best friends before gg to the US thought US was the dream. After being there n completed studies, couldn't wait to come back..
@@jen5138 Ok to be fair, US is different x'D i mean cmon, there.......really not the dream in some areas ^^; But im glad to hear they like sg to come back ofc
@@jen5138then that best friend is a BODOH
One thing she forgot to mention is she herself is born singaporean and raised there.
unpopular opinion: the judgy sgreans in the comment sections are the ones with inferior complexity. I have moved out of sg for more than 10 years and have no other sgreans to speak to most of the time. I speak mandarin chinese and english with a more neutral accent than most sgrean now, even when i am back in sg, no one thinks i'm pretentious when i speak good chinese, but i get judgy comments about my english 'accent' just because i cannot talk like everybody lahhh (mannn, im struggling).... LIKE, why.
you have grown, they on the other hand waddles in their well
@toxicislam3319 nothing wrong with either accent. The only person who is an a**hole is the judgy ones who thought that people code switch out of malice rather then necessity.
Singapore needs more talent. The UK can have her 😂.
Inferior complex. Many feel ashamed about Singlish. But, really only ah lian ah seng speak pure singlish. Be confident Singaporeans, Londoners will not change the way they speak because u are foriegners. They also have some local dialets in their conversation.
4:53 Singapore's online comment section is toxic af. From attacking tourists to own citizens, saying things a bit controversial gets flamed instantly. Is cyberbullying the new national identify now?
New Flash, social media comments are toxic ALL OVER the World, NOT limited to Singapore only !~
welcome to singapore
@@toxicislam3319And you’re from?
If she hate Singapore, she doesn't have to come back.
7:00 He is right about the workaholic.
Asia’s a country ok wow
I don't think she wants to come back, and she genuinely makes the right decision.
The way we "talk"???? Firstly, it's "the way we speak". If she wants to identify with an English-speaking country, then at least learn to speak well! 😂
what she said is literally how a lot of people feel about their own country though… it’s fun to be a tourist in a country but if you have to work and make a living of course you’re going to dread wherever you live in
she is one of those Sarong Party Girls.
The first girl probably got kicked out of school due to her bad literature and explaining that’s why she hates sg 😥
Go look in some of the wash rooms in coffee shops
She should keep that hair colour. The bleach must have fried her brain. SPGs decided to go to where they can get more sausages due to lack of them in SG now 😂
I'm not a Singaporean, what I know the whole world praises Singapore for being so advanced, modern and safe, But this girl said otherwise and honestly I was shocked, It looks like this girl is going through hard times
Rather, I would say this girl hasn’t been through hard times. Someone whom been through hard times would see Singapore as a paradise if you work for it.
Not trying to hate or anything, just wanted to share that Asia isn't a country...but a continent with over 50 very different countries all with very different cultures and ways of life, love from sg
Ignoring the girl in the video, the people in the comments hating on people who code switch because they can't do it themselves. Pretty hilarious stuff.
Immature, young comment. There are more to no like the country like cost of living blah..
I am interested to know when she is giving up her citizenship.
I love Singapore..
Broken English is very common in Singapore, yet, many locals do claim that they are native speakers. On the other hand, the Dutch or Irish (who's deemed native speakers by the UK and the US) would never make such a claim. Like someone mentioned in the comment, inferiority complex
It's not broken English it's a dialect of English
Would I say texas English= broken English?
it's not the accent but the grammar, the defining feature of a language. In fact, on average Singaporeans only score 7-8 on Ielts test while native speakers easily scoring a 9-9.5@@cocaineminor4420
I guess that's why the guy from the video likes to live in Canada. Western people don't really care about accent tho
There 200 other countries i hope they found a country they loved like me. I currently lived in chicago came here from Singapore 5 years ago back in 2018
She’s crazy. I’m from the U.K. and feel about my country the way she does about hers, let’s swap!
Yeolo - she is like Lee Hsien Yang and Amos Yee all have the same thing in common
Grow up, your comment about LHY totally show how brainwashed you are. He is actually an opposition party member. He loves Singapore more than most political zombies.
@kwokleongawyong2895 - LHY dare to step in Singapore soil ? No balls ? Beside LHY being a troublemaker, what good have LHY done for Singapore ? Any improvement in Singaporeans life from his efforts , any ? Don't be so stupid .
She has the most “fake accent singaporean accent” I have heard 😂 it’s so obviously singaporean but she’s trying so hard to not sound like she is but it’s just not working… xmm why all the internalised hate for your culture and heritage? Who hurt you?
True Singaporean Spirit..... Confirmed born n raised in Spore....
This whole video just goes to prove her point, don't you think? Whether you like it or not she has spoken as is her right to do so. No international law will prosecute her for speaking her mind, regardless of defamation or slander. Don't like it? Sue her as is your right to do so. Don't go, as a Singaporean, she shouldn't be and say it's not right morally/ethically. In any case, who gives two hoots about the girl. She is one out of so many million. Your actions speak more than hers because you were sensitive enough to have reacted to such a statement in the first place. I mean does her statement change who you are? NO. So leave and move on. The next clip in this video proves as such. As you said, he was pretty harmless yet got hated on because the people who were commenting felt the right to deride him. I love what he did when he thumbed his finger right back at all his detractors because I would do that too.
Having working overseas for so many years and almost 7 years in US, I think there is no better country than Singapore. Thanks God she moved to England.. a drowning country.
Well say.... since she dun like SG and staying in UK n she like it. STAY N DUN COME N DUN EVEN COME HERE FOR HOLIDAY. cheers
Excellent English!
I think a reasonable person wouldn't go as far as to say Singapore is so horrible. Sure there are aspects one can be very critical of, but on the whole, I think it's still tolerable at worst. Lol.
Help, whats the original tiktok
Stay there, don’t come back! U r not welcome!
wow that is a stupid comment
"How the way they talk" Singlish lmao
what's the problem with growing up in singapore-
SOUNDS LIKE A YOU PROBLEM
The only problem i have with singapore is that it boring!!!!!😫..... other than that yeah i have no problem.
The way we talk? Like the way she talks? OK to holiday in Singapore but don't live there? Isn't she holidaying in the UK herself?
Why can't we just speak any language correctly (originally), be it Tamil, Russian, French, Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia and others.
Russian and french is not our 4 main languages
Tbh I also don’t like how Sgreans talk but I think she needs to put it in a better way
All I hear from her was like, like, like, like. Guess the blonde in her must have affected her speech.
Time to send her to IMH
Why are only blonde women so stupid but not blonde men?
The worst thing about Singapore?
You have ungrateful people or maybe that’s too harsh
You have immature people in adult bodies.😂
I don't see her as a person of depth. Her answers were very vague. Sweeping statements. So, I am not concerned with what she said.
Nope, China takes the cake. Singaporean reaction is consider very controlled liao.
Everything in Singapore is very expensive.
There is a complexity about her. This golden retriever spoke like she is already angmo. Plse lah you are yellow and always yellow. Don't siah suai yourself
From her hair dye. She wants the nightlife. No single nightlife. That why it's boring there.
Aiya she dont like... dont just say la. Why not just give up Singapore citizenship? Thats the best thing she can do.
🙏 With great respect to All Sides ... Those who only know on how to complain this & complain that of Singapore are mainly from groups that who have not suffered living under Totalitarian or Extremist Regimes that will prosecute their own people who do not follow their draconian rules or selfish political manifesto ... A lot of their citizens in these regimes being locked up for decades or disappeared just for voicing or fighting for their or others' human rights! ... 🙏🕯🌏🕊
The girl is too young to appreciate what Singapore has worked hard and achieved since Independence. May be she will change in future. hehe.
Nah I ain’t standing up for sg. Sorry I’m good. Too much inflation and is too expensive.
"The grass is greener on the other side" kinda situation...
I think she dont like her parents because of the way they talk . I like Singapore , I don't like the weather I don't like the rules there .I love the food there. Every time I go back to Singapore I will gain a lot of weight I just have to deal with the weather
Worst thing in Singapore: Expensive cai png.
education system...
she like ang mo only.
Singapore has its bad stuff but not what she describes
Give her a break lah. She's just a silly young person. She will grow out of it.
Can't deny that the most Whites are pretty cool in their demeanour, and others will try to emulate it.
She can have her opinion, live elsewhere, and we can leave her alone… why all the roasting?
girl's trying real hard to fit in 😩
"If you go there for...like....a holiday it's fine...but like if you grew up living there...don't do that......"
Hahaha! ☠️
i think i could be due to all the national exams maybe idk
WHOS PAYING FOR HER TO EXIST THERE
I think what she meant was singapore is a naggy places
1:13 Yishun
She is uttering singlish....ah lian face
She skipped school a lot in Singapore? esp English class! Can t make it wherever~ cos she can’t escape herself!!
